Dr. Andrew Weil’s Guide to Eating Well

April 23rd, 2008


Dr. Andrew Weil’s Guide to Eating Well
“One of holistic medicine’s most authoritative voices” — Publishers Weekly

Good carbs, bad carbs? Low fat, no fat? Is protein the solution or the problem? After so much conflicting diet advice, one of America’s best-known and most respected doctors offers a sensible approach that emphasizes enjoyment over deprivation and long-term health benefits over short-term weight loss. Dr. Weil assures us there is no confusion among nutritional experts about the optimal diet for health and longevity. And it’s the very same diet that will naturally keep you at a healthy weight. Understanding inflammation to be the root cause of many chronic illnesses, he provides science-based recommendations to help combat specific health concerns, all as part of what he calls the Anti-Inflammatory Diet. He also addresses the subject of dietary supplements, what’s downright dangerous and what can help.

Inside the DVD, you’ll find a printed pocket guide that encapsulates much of Dr. Weil’s advice, including energy-boosting eating tips and a shopping cart guide to the healthiest foods.

DVD FEATURES INCLUDE bonus footage not seen on the PBS broadcast, the Eating Well Pocket Guide, and a bio of Dr. Weil.

Andrew Weil M.D., is a world-renowned leader and pioneer in the field of integrative medicine. Dr. Weil combines a Harvard education with a lifetime of practicing natural and preventive medicine to provide a unique approach to health care that encompasses body, mind, and spirit. Dr. Weil is the founder and director of the Program in Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona. His national bestselling books include Spontaneous Healing, The Healthy Kitchen, and Healthy Aging.

Customer Review: Good but extremely basic
Dr. Weil has a very sensible and holistic approach to eating which is well explained in this program. I like his emphasis on debunking fad diets and on making eating pleasurable and socially integrative. He covers all the basic concepts related to healthy eating competently and clearly. I personally was hoping for something more advanced, since the information in this video is really oriented to those who know very little about nutrition. If you have been keeping up with the literature, there will be little new information here. Actually, Dr. Weil’s DVD on healthy aging contains some interesting information on healthful properties of foods and spices in the Okinawan diet which are not contained here and which were new to me. But, even if you know all this, it never hurts to reinforce it and this video is a succinct and motivational way to do so.

Customer Review: U7 soccer coach
WOW!!! Here’s how to take your kids (and yourself) to the next level for skills development. No more poorly constructed videos or diagrams - these are very professionally produced so that you understand every move. There’s also good dialogue with the pros and trainers about how to really finesse these moves on the pitch.
Customer Review: Youth soccer skills training
We purchased this DVD based on a recommendation, for use as a training aid for my 10 yr old. It demonstrates a number of age appropriate soccer skills in a nice format that is useful for learning, and that is also enjoyable to watch. At times the European accents and terminology used by some of the speakers / players may be difficult to understand and follow.

Yoga For Your Eyes

April 23rd, 2008


Yoga For Your Eyes
Customer Review: Well-done, inspiring
I rented this through Netflix, so had no access to any additional materials that might have been included with it (eye chart, for example).

The only suggestion for improvement I would make is: have a separate workout on the DVD. While Mr. Schneider does go into how long to do each individual exercise when teaching, it would be nice to have a complete, real-time run through on the DVD.

The exercises/warm-up he has you go through before you do any of the eye exercises could also be used as a gentle, yet energizing warm up for other physical exercise–a welcome and unexpected bonus.

Customer Review: yoga for eyes and minds
This is a very good set of book and dvd with easy to follow instructions. You learn a lot about eyes, body and mind cooperation. It makes you to respect the best organs of your senses.THE EYES!

Customer Review: functional style
I looked everywhere for a kettle like this. It is not only beautiful but is also exactly what a tea kettle should be. I love the trigger on the handle, no hot surprises. The whistle is loud and can be heard several rooms away. The kettle looks great on my stainless steel stove, too.
Customer Review: Worth EVERY PENNY!!!
This tea kettle is better than many priced 2-3 times the price of the Tramontina. Well thought out design, construction is excellent - pure joy to use. Get it, you’ll love it! I’m glad I did my research and came across this gem.

Customer Review: Disappointed
As a nutritionist and a postpartum doula, I was very disappointed with this video. It shows babies drinking juice both from cup and a bottle and gives out-dated information for starting solids. Breastfeeding is not held up as the “gold standard” as it should be. Some of the other information is good, but you can find it elsewhere.
Customer Review: Basic info set in old style ‘video’
Offers pretty basic information on the development of infants and looks to be from the 80’s though the copyright says 1993. Although I’m sure child development hasn’t changed that much over the years, the whole thing seemed a bit outdated. I much preferred The Baby Human and hope they come out with more from that series.
